A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS GRANTING
A CATEGORY I WETLAND WAIVER PER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY
6.1.14.3 FOR 1313 WHITE OAK LANE (SILVER OAK ESTATES LOT 5), FORT
PIERCE, IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, based on the
testimony and evidence, including but not limited to the staff report, has made the following
determinations:
1. Joseph and Andrea Lucas have requested a waiver from Comprehensive Plan Policy
6.1.14.3 to allow for indirect impacts to approximately 0.146 acres (6,347 square feet)
of the required 50 ft. wide Category I wetland upland buffer as depicted on the attached
Exhibit B for the development of single-family residence and associated improvements
on the property depicted on the attached map Exhibit A, and described in Part B below.
2. After consideration of staff comments and the standards of review for granting waiver
adopted from Section 10.01.02 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the
Board of County Commissioners has made the following determination.
The requested waiver meets the standards of review as set forth in Section 10.01.02 of
the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, because:
1. The granting of the requested waiver arises from conditions unique to the land, no
other reasonable alternative exists and allows for reasonable use of the property.
2. The granting of the requested waiver will allow the development of a single-family
residence that shall comply with all applicable building setbacks located within the
RS-3 (Residential, Single-Family — 3 du/ac) zoning district.
3. The granting of the requested waiver is not anticipated to adversely affect
neighboring properties, as the entire wetland and remaining upland buffer are
provided to maintain open space and natural water attenuation and filtration
onsite, consistent with the surrounding existing neighborhood.
4. The onsite wetland area and remaining wetland buffer will be restored and
maintained via an approved Preserve Area Monitoring and Management Plan
(PAMMP).
5. A waiver from the 50 ft. associated wetland upland buffer is necessary for
reasonable use of the property and therefore meets the avoidance and
minimization criteria for impacts as it precludes reasonable use of the subject
property.
